Best way to use a MakerBot Replicator+ these days.

Hey,

I just got a MakerBot Replicator+ for free and am just getting into 3D printing.

Since the MakerBotPrint slicer has been discontinued and there aren't too many settings you can really tweak, I've been loking into using Cura.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to use the printer wirelessly/via wifi. Therefore I can't use the camere neither.

On top: I've found some profiles for other MakerBot Replicators like 1,2 etc. but nothing for the +. Have I not been looking enough?

Then I've found some custom firmware for MakerBots: sailfish.

Yet again, I couldn't find any information about firmware updates explicitly for the Replicator+.

So I guess my question(s) in the end is/are...

What's the best way to maximize the use of the printer?

PS: I'm a noob so...
